PRO:

The new cooler allows high clocks with low volume levels and keeps the card pretty darn cool. That's definitely a win - win situation! Come on! Mechanical Menacing looks on your graphic card + darn cooling temp! Who doesn't wants it?

High-Density heatsinks ---- > +1



Triple Over-Voltage Function ----> +1


Dual Propellar Cooling Fans ----> +1


PWM Design (varies for different series of GFX) ----> +1


Military Class ll Component ----> +1


MSI Exclusive P/S Switch Function ----> +1


Heatpipes connect from the cooler’s base up through the heatsink fins ----> +1


========================================================

CONS:

Quoted from Techpowerup:

There is such a long "lip" near the end of the cooler which extends well over the PCB and does nothing but use up space.



========================================================

It has
(according to MSI)


Military Class II Concept
The perfect trinity of quality, stability and efficiency all exist at one mainboard to meet end user expectations. The MSI Military Class II series products provide the long lifespan, unparalleled quality, extreme performance and ultimate efficiency.

- SFC
Lower working temperature will enhance mainboard stability.
- Solid Cap
10 year long lifespan


OC Genie II
Just press the OC Genie button or enable OC Genie II function in BIOS menu, the CPU performance (P67 series) or the 3D performance of iGPU (H67/H61 series) will be highly improved. Whether users want to watch a high bit-rate HD movie or go online gaming, both can be enjoyed with image performance that is smoother and lag-free!


My thoughts:
Personally i feel that this motherboard is a great choice if your tight on budget and do NOT plan to Crossfire/Sli. Normally on a tight budget you would probably need to spend more on a power supply with more Watts,resulting in higher cost,therefore you may also run into an increase in electric bills. Therefore, in my opinion such a board with just 1 16x slot is enough. Because i think it is just better to upgrade the whole GPU. Save electricity bills, save extra money by not getting a 2 16x motherboard and higher watts PSU. But this is what I THINK. Doesnt mean everyone think this way
